Dartmouth Middle School Holiday Food Drive


Dear Sea Turtle Families,

Dartmouth Middle School is excited to rally in aid of our community and run a food & fund drive to benefit Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara County. Most of us know someone who is struggling to make ends meet and we have the opportunity to ensure that no child, family or senior goes hungry.

Through your generosity we can provide hope for the 207,000 people Second Harvest feeds each month. Please join us in this effort to feed our neighbors who, each month, have to decide between paying for rent, utilities, or medicine and providing food for their loved ones.

Where and How?, Bring food donations to homeroom each morning. Here is a shopping list of most needed foods:

Meals in a can (Stew, Chili, and Soup), Peanut Butter, Tuna/Canned Meat, Cans with pop top lids,
100% Fruit Juices, Canned Fruits, Canned Vegetables, Low-Sugar Cereal

When? Now! We are collecting donations until December 10th

Why?: Nothing else matters when you’re hungry. Give a gift that matters at this critical time. If your cupboards are full, please help others who don’t know where their next meal will come from. No donation is too small; giving as little as $10 is enough to provide 20 people with the most basic human need: food.

Our goal is 100% team participation. We are asking everyone to give what they can so that we have 100% participation. Be sure to check out our "Food Chain" as it grows with each can or dollar brought in to help feed the people in our community.

Because every $1 provides 2 meals and 95 cents of every $1 donated to the Food Bank is used to feed hungry people in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties, you can be assured your contribution will make a difference. Visit their website at www.SecondHarvestFood.org for more information.

Thank you in advance for your participation!


P.S. You can increase your impact by sending an email to your family and friends asking them to support Second Harvest Food Bank. Here is a template to get you started.
